Chunked DASH in JavaScript

Abstract: Chunked DASH is getting attention for reducing otherwise high delay oflive segment streaming but there are a lot of unexplored problems associatedwith it. This master’s thesis investigates the difficulties involved withimplementing a chunked DASH player in the browser with JavaScript. A small system containing one JavaScript client and a server which simulateslive streaming by repeating VOD segments is implemented. Issuesrelated to the downloading of chunked segments are addressed and solvedsuch that chunked segments can be streamed within expected delay, andwith accurate throughput metrics.
